The present study investigates the effects of Natrum muriaticum on tomato, cow pea, and basil leaves under salt stress conditions. Salt stress is a significant abiotic stress that can negatively impact plant growth and productivity. Natrum muriaticum, a homeopathic remedy, has been reported to have potential benefits in mitigating salt stress in plants. The study aimed to evaluate the effects of Natrum muriaticum on the growth, biochemical, and physiological parameters of tomato, cow pea, and basil leaves under salt stress conditions. The results showed that Natrum muriaticum treatment significantly improved the growth parameters, such as shoot length, root length, and leaf area, in all three plant species under salt stress conditions. The biochemical analysis revealed that Natrum muriaticum treatment increased the content of proline, a compatible solute that helps in osmoregulation, and antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase and catalase, which scenge reactive oxygen species and protect plants from oxidative damage. Results showed that Natrum Mur treatment improved growth, physiological, and biochemical parameters, as well as enhanced yield and fruit quality. The 12X and 30X potencies showed more pronounced effects, suggesting a potential dose-response relationship.
